On September 20, 2017, at 11:33 am, a 14-year-old male student opened fire in the school cafeteria and was quickly subdued by Angela McQueen, a math and physical education teacher. One student was struck in the chest and was driven to a nearby hospital suffering non-life-threatening wounds. The shooter was taken into custody without further incident and was charged with aggravated battery with a firearm and sent to juvenile hall. [2]
In the 2017–18 school year, Mattoon had an enrollment of 1,013, with 88.3% of that population being Caucasian. Hispanics makeup 4.3% of the student population, surpassing the percentage of African Americans, who makeup 3.6% of the student body. In the 2017–18 school year, Mattoon had a graduation rate of 96%, with a dropout rate of 1%.
The Green Wave currently compete in the Apollo Conference, moving there from the Big Twelve Conference in 2012. The change now pits them against teams more locally based than before, with the conference consisting of the Charleston Trojans, Effingham Flaming Hearts, Lincoln Railsplitters, Mahomet-Seymour Bulldogs, Mt. Zion Braves, and the Taylorville Tornadoes.
Notable Team State Finishes
State Finals Qualifications
Apollo Conference All Sport Championships
Outside athletics, Mattoon High School has three primary extracurricular activities that compete throughout the state and occasionally the entire nation, primarily being the "Pride Of The Green Wave" Marching Band, Choir, and Army JROTC.
